- From April 30, 2024, 1700 hrs. to May 1, 2024, 1700 hrs., the Jammu-Srinagar National Highway remained blocked for 17 hrs. due to restoration work at Dalwas, Mehad, and Magerkote. Slow movement was observed on National Highway NH-44 due to the breakdown of five HMVs, four nomadic flocks, single-lane traffic at Dalwas, Mehad, Panthyal, Magerkote, Nachlana, Gangroo, Shalgarhi, etc., and the poor surface condition of the road at many places between Nashri and NAVYUG Tunnel.
